That's an Rx-3

FD definitely, it's a cult classic and can be a hp monster. The FC is a nice car against other cars of its era but just doesn't have the sexy curves that the FD has.

The FC has something the FD lacks. I don't know what but the FC TII is something i would love to have. I would trade my rx8 for it immediately.

I love both of them honestly, but if I had to choose I would pick FD. I love the curves of the car and a lowered widebody brilliant black FD looks like the Batmobile. I think it's one of the best looking cars ever, and I've tried to keep the evil voice that keeps telling me to buy one quiet. The FC is a beautiful car in it's own right and I think really clean well cared for examples show off how amazing it can look, but the car never really stood out to me the same way FDs did. The FC came at a time when almost all cars looked the same. 944 Porsche, Supra and FC RX-7 look waaaay too close for me.

The FC has character. You really have to drive the car to understand, which is something commonly said by you RX8 owners.

I can't argue with your choice in wheels Cons, since you were the only person that had actually seen what they looked like in my thread asking about them lol. They look amazing on your FC, they definitely help it stand out. Quite a pretty ride I must say.
